To the eye: bronze tones combined with the intense depth of a great red wine. To the nose: the nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry & wild strawberry; a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvee. To the palate: a subtle combination of structure, length & vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the adjunction of red wine; bubbles as fine as velvet; flavours of wild berries. Pair with Crayfish, lobster, one-side cooked salmon. Japanese cuisine or not-so-spicy Asian cuisine. Fruit based dessert: fruit soup, strawberry tart, raspberries. With its intimate & unusual flavours, Bollinger Rose can be served for afternoon tea, Bollinger-style. It is also perfect for a picnic on a summer afternoon, as a predinner drink or served with a fruity & tart dessert. To fully appreciate its unique style, bouquet & aromas, Bollinger Rose is best served between 10 & 12 Deg C. ...

Following the harvest period, Bollinger's decisions on blending are not made before January. The blend for the Special Cuvee is an ideal version of the classic Champagne blend, using the different grapes of a given year from a variety of crus, with the addition of older, reserve wines. This blend necessarily incorporates subtle variations each year whilst remaining consistent to a style. It is, therefore, the hardest of all Bollinger to make. It contains the full expression of the Bollinger style & the House feels it should be judged on this
- its benchmark wine. The denomination Special Cuvee was created in 1911. The idea came from William Folks, then partner of the illustrious London House of Mentzendorff. This great wine lover felt it was an insult to simply call this great wine non vintage. The suggestion of naming it Special Cuvee was immediately approved by Monsieur Bollinger. A blend par excellence, the Special Cuvee is the purest expression of the Bollinger style; of its craftsmanship & its singular conception of what a champagne should be. It is, therefore, on this wine that the House of Bollinger shows how it is different from other Champagne Houses, asserts its qualitative policy & by which it asks to be judged. Madame Bollinger
- I drink it when I'm happy & when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry & drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it
- unless I'm thirsty.
